The Romans considered Christians to be hater's of the gods and men because they deneyed the concept of Polytheism. Atheist: antithetical to the belief in gods, and in modern times one god. Originally it was only used in referrence to those who believed in one god and rejected all others.

Or, if you take into account it's technical definition...In Latin, atheo.A (or ab, in some cases) meaning 'from' or 'away from'...+Theo, which refers to things pertaining to theology, or metaphysics.

Yes, thats the point I was making. In the mind of a Roman the Christian faith was going away from what they considered to be theology.

True. They were actually fairly accepting of the Jewish faith during the intertestimonial period...It wasn't 'til they started suspecting that the Christians (and Zealots, who were often Jewish or Christian) were threatening their power that they cracked down on them.

Nice to see someone who know's their Bible history on here. The Jews did eventually rebel at Masada but they were slaughtered.
